Product Details:

Joel, a ruthless survivor with few moral lines left to cross, lives in one of the last remaining Quarantine Zones. These walled-off, oppressive cities are run by what's left of the military. Despite the strict martial law, Joel operates in the black market of the city, smuggling contraband for the right price. Joel is asked by a dying friend to look after Ellie, a fourteen-year-old girl with courage beyond her years. What starts out as a simple job to deliver Ellie to another Quarantine Zone, soon transforms into a profound journey that will forever change Joel and Ellie. As they trek across a post-pandemic United States, Joel and Ellie will encounter different factions of survivors that have each found a unique way of dealing with the infected humans, the lack of supplies, and the threat of other survivors. As Joel and Ellie struggle to persevere, they must learn to trust each other and work together in order to survive the realities of this new world. At its core, The Last of Us is about the bond that forms between Joel and Ellie - it is the story of love, loyalty, and redemption.

FEATURES

Become the hunter and the hunted in a brutal post-pandemic world. Play as Joel, a ruthless survivor,
who is paired with Ellie, a brave young teenage girl, as they work together to endure a dangerous trek
across a familiar, yet post-pandemic United States.

Strategize how to survive enemy encounters as the Balance of Power AI system continuously adapts
to whether Joel or the enemies gain the upper hand. Quickly maneuver to survive encounters as
enemies will change their behavior based on what weapon they see Joel holding, how many of them
are left alive, and whether the player has managed to surprise them.

Learn how to survive day-by-day: scavenge for vital resources, craft weaponry out of environmental
objects, and compete with other survivors for limited supplies and ammo.

Developed by Naughty Dog, creators of the best-selling UNCHARTED series.

Genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements.

Character driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague.

CHARACTER BIOS

Joel

A brutal survivor with few moral lines left to cross Joel, now in his late
40s, has been hardened by the ravages of the fungal plague that has
devastated known civilization. He's lost family and pieces of his humanity
due to the damages of the plague and the heavy-handed military presence
that surrounds the events. Living in one of few remaining military-controlled
quarantine zones he operates as a black market smuggler, dealing in
contraband, taking numerous de-humanizing jobs over the years to
survive and while shutting down his emotions to cope as his conscience
slowly dwindles away.

Ellie

A brave, 14 year old girl, Ellie has grown up in this harsh world and it is all
she has ever known. She's an orphan who was raised in a boarding school
run by the military within the bounds of the quarantine zone. Naïve and
curious about the outside world, she is wise beyond her years and highly
capable of taking care of herself and those around her. Obsessed with
comic books, CDs, and other pop culture, her knowledge base is filled by
the remnants of a world that no longer exists.

The Last of Us Could Be GOTY
This game is going to be absolutely stunning! Created by the phenomenal people at Naughty Dog who created the fantastic Crash Badicoot, Jak, and Uncharted, The Last of Us presents a game darker and more mature than anything they have created yet. Funny how many of us gamers have moved along right beside ND, from childhood to now. This game has enormous promise and may even be better than Uncharted 3! The team split after Uncharted 2 into two groups, one making Uncharted 3, and the other secretly making The Last of Us. That means this has been in production for a very long time, reinforcing the fact that the chance of this game being a let down to be very, very low. The post apocalyptic setting can really bring out the characters. I can't wait to see how Joel and Ellie evolve and form a close bond as the game progresses. I can't wait to see the fantastic visuals that will blast any game away on console. I can't wait to experience the life like ways the survivors will react. I can't WAIT to play the game multiple times to see if I can go down a said path in a different way, maybe stealth one day, angry crazy survivor the next! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAST OF US.

The Last of Us: GOTY
This game is the most anticipated game there is on market right now, and its just a new series. Its stunning. graphics look amazing, story looks incredible, and I could say this game has everything that a game needs to become a classic that wont be forgotten. And it has what it takes to win Game of the Year. GTA V, and bioshock infinite dont come close to the creativity and uniqueness of this game. I'm sure Naughty Dog will soon become one of the best developers worldwide. I strongly recommend you get this game before any other game. $80.00 for this game= VERY WORTH IT!

Get hyped
I have been waiting for this game ever since I first saw the the teaser trailer at E3 years ago.I will saw I was surprised when I saw the Naughtydog logo pop up,but if you think 'bout it does fall into their genre of action/adventure. I was happy to find out that its not just a post-apocalyptic game dealing with zombies,but rather a decease that came from the insect (ants) that has gone airborne. I will say I'm not a big fan of escort missions & this game looks like one big escort mission but alil different since,from the gameplay videos I've seen, looks like Ellie helps out but distracting & helps kill enemies. So I'm looking forward to this game & can't wait when it comes out.

Love it
I never really played any game that were made by Naughty Dog but that doesn't mean i dont like them. I've played games by them at my friends house. Now i am really excited for this game. You should get the Survival edition because its better than the Post Pandemic edition because your paying another 80 dollars jsut for a 12 inch statue of the 2 main charachters from the game. ps. Go Ps3 Fans Boo Xbox Fans

The Last Of Us Preview
So by watching the trailer I have come to see that this game is going to have a much darker theme than Naughty Dog's other series Uncharted, by far this is a hardcore, gritty survival. I also watched the E3 Demo and it looked great, having to craft your weapons and all the choices of what you can make looks really nice. Its one of those things like should I make a mace with these nails and baseball bat and it run out faster but do more damage, or should I make a shiv and it last longer but do less damage, its like a choice thing. I really am looking forward to this, unfortunately I am not going to buy the Post Pandemic Edition for $160.00. I decided to just buy the Limited Edition Guide And The Survival Edition. I am going to be playing this game for a while good or bad. I want the platinum trophy! :D

Can't Wait!!!
I saw the preview for this close to when it came out was was soo exited the second i saw the Naughty Dog logo! The Uncharted games are some of my favorite games and this one looks like it will be up in my top spots. I love the action/adventure that the game has and how it is a disease that spread from ants instead of regular zombies! I absolutely cannot wait til May 7!!

6/1/13

difference between the survival ed. and post ed.
the only difference is in the post-pandemic edition you get 1 more dlc and a statue. in the survival ed. you get just 1 dlc. so your paying 80 more dollars just for a statue and 1 more dlc. not worth it.
